Cofinitary groups and projective well-orders

Logic 2025-05-08 v2

Abstract

We introduce the notion of a tight cofinitary group, which captures forcing indestructibility of maximal cofinitary groups for a long list of partial orders, including Cohen, Sacks, Miller, Miller partition forcing and Shelah's poset for diagonalizing maximal ideal. Introducing a new robust coding technique, we establish the relative consistency of ag=d<c=2\mathfrak{a}_g=\mathfrak{d}<\mathfrak{c}=\aleph_2 alongside the existence of a Δ31\Delta^1_3-wellorder of the reals and a co-analytic witness for ag\mathfrak{a}_g.
